And yet this admin just lifted Russian oil sanctions

Iran is going to make the Exxon Valdez look like a walk in the park

From USA Today:

We are spending $2B a day right now fighting everything in the Middle East. Currently on pace for over $700B a year, with no clear end in sight.

Connect the dots

Among the other problems with this incredible take is that in addition to the chilling effect of violence, the last 14 months has seen an executive assault on public higher education. Grants have been pulled, university presidents have been run out, and campus groups have been shuttered.

In South Burlington, Vermont, protesters are being tear-gassed by ICE and local police as they attempt to prevent a kidnapping.

ICE was hacked! We now know what companies make up ICE deportation pipeline.

I know Palantir is monopolizing the DOD market on AI, but I also cannot emphasize enough that being able to "fight war" does not make America special.

This guy Sherman knew what he was talking about

What happened to the Iranian girls school was tragic and horrific, and it’s become clear it was an American strike. The President's claim it could've been Iran was always a lie. There needs to be a full and transparent investigation so that it doesn't happen again.

'Wes Bryant — who served until last year as the senior analyst and adviser on precision warfare, targeting, and civilian harm mitigation at the Pentagon’s Civilian Protection Center of Excellence — called the attack on the…school a “failure in fundamental targeting doctrine and standards.” ' /1

Where the Benghazi folks at?

Surprised he doesn't say General Officers should have to own a plantation over 100 hectares in size and 12 slaves at a minimum.

"Will no one rid me of this meddlesome loser?"

Decisions meet consequences.

again its really weird that evidence that Trump raped at 13 year old girl is growing and its not only not a top story, its a barely covered story

Feature not a bug

“ i’m just a normal guy from like 1880 in the sense of my views”

Maybe they can just lethality harder? MAGA is running up painfully against the facts that brute force isn’t the answer to everything, planning is important, and constraints to the use of force are not woke nonsense, but very real factors that serious people embrace. Which means they won’t.

5/ And on the Strait of Hormuz, they had NO PLAN. I can't go into more detail about how Iran gums up the Strait, but suffice it say, right now, they don't know how to get it safely back open. Which is unforgiveable, because this part of the disaster was 100% foreseeable.

4/ Ok, so what ARE the goals? It seems, primarily, destroying lots of missiles and boats and drone factories. But the question that stumped them: what happens when you stop bombing and they restart production? They hinted at more bombing. Which is, of course, endless war.

3/ Second, they confirmed "regime change" is also NOT on the list. So, they are going to spend hundreds of billions of your taxpayer dollars, get a whole bunch of Americans killed, and a hardline regime - probably a MORE anti-American hardline regime - will still be in charge.

2/ Maybe the lead is that the war goals DO NOT involve destroying Iran's nuclear weapons program. This is, uh...surprising...since Trump says over and over this is a key goal. But then of course we already know air strikes can't wipe out their nuclear material.

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public. I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are. 1/ Here's what I can share:

Who knows, they might even have Muslim Space Lasers by next year?

I think Trump knows exactly what he's doing with the shoes, it's another humiliation thing. If it wasn't, they'd just rebuy the exact same Florsheim shoe in the right size and wear that. But they know he'd notice those aren't the clown shoes he gave them, so they can't do it.

What is garbage in, garbage out, Alex?

Today, I'd like to remind my friends that: Depression isn't rational Body Dysmorphia isn't rational Anxiety isn't rational. But they are real. The irrationality of it all means we don't get to pick our battles. They come to us, & weren't not given a choice.

The entire Republican Party has adopted the mannerisms of 4chan shitposters. This is who they are now, just a bunch of shitposters performing for their Nazi audience on X

Just because you're not there doesn't mean you don't have feelings about it. I'm hearing from numerous veterans about the emotional toll of witnessing another war that has and will continue to take American lives. Take some time to read my friends' words. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

God, this conflict with Iran just feels so incredibly heavy Like a weight you carry around with you all day long. It all just feels too stupidly familiar. I wonder if this is how Vietnam vets felt in 2003

Speaking of 'Nam…

my honest reaction to that information:

This guy? Nooooooo.

I talked to dozens of experts in government, academia, cybersecurity, and industry about exactly this scenario last year and not only did not one of them think I was being alarmist, many brought it up unprompted and many said there was zero chance it hadn’t already happened

That Dem consultants told Gov. Walz to stop calling them “weird” still has me miffed.

There are seven American dead from Iranian drones. We told Ukraine “no” when they offered us their drone defense in August that we’re now begging for. Unacceptable

Thank goodness

This is the logical endpoint of the Pentagon‘s current “lethality“ fixation - destroying things is the point. It also reflects its civilian leaders’ disregard, if not open contempt, for strategic thinking and the skills & intellectual preparation that support it.

WALLACE: Why are we at war with Iran? CHRIS MURPHY: Great question. The simplest explanation might be the one they gave 24 hours in that they've kind of tried to backtrack from since -- that Israel made us do it.

Do not, my friends, become addicted to oil. It will take hold of you, and you will resent its absence.

With climate change tornadoes are becoming more frequent in areas who don’t experience them and the folks in New England still haven’t figured out the difference between a watch and a warning so it’s time to start the thing again. Watch = chance of tornado. Warning = THERES A FUCKING TORNADO!

When Joe Biden was determined to be too old, the media wouldn't relent on that story until public opinion matched their coverage and he was finished. They dont have any interest in turning the public against this fucking nazi and its a CHOICE.
